CALIBRATING THE RECEIVER

/ /
1. With the vehicle on a flat, level surface, insert the Bind Plug in the BIND
port on the receiver.
2. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
3. Power on the ESC. The orange LED flashes, indicating the receiver is in
bind mode.
4. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
5. Press and hold the BIND button while powering on the transmitter.
6. Release the BIND button when the orange LED slowly flashes. The
transmitter and receiver are linked when the orange LED is solid.
7. Pull the transmitter trigger to Full Throttle.
8. Push the transmitter trigger to Full Brake, then return the trigger to
center.
9. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Right.
10. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Left, then return the steering
wheel to center. The orange LED flashes once.
11. Remove the Bind Plug, then power off the receiver to save the settings.
12. Power off the transmitter.

DRIVING PRECAUTIONS

/ /
Maintain sight of the vehicle at all times.
»
Routinely inspect the vehicle for loose wheel hardware.
»
Routinely inspect the steering assembly for any loose hardware.
»
Driving the vehicle off-road can cause fasteners to loosen over time.
Do not drive the vehicle in tall grass. Doing so can damage the vehicle
»
or electronics.
Stop driving the vehicle when you notice a lack of power. Driving
»
the vehicle when the battery is discharged can cause the receiver
to power off. If the receiver loses power, you will lose control of the
vehicle. Damage due to an over-discharged Li-Po battery is not
covered under warranty.
CAUTION: Do not discharge a Li-Po battery below 3V per cell.
Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved
voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and
potential fire when batteries are charged.
Do not apply forward or reverse throttle if the vehicle is stuck.
»
Applying throttle in this instance can damage the motor or ESC.
After driving the vehicle, allow the electronics to cool before driving the
»
vehicle again.
IMPORTANT: Keep wires away from all moving parts.

RUN TIME

The largest factor in run time is the capacity of the battery pack. A larger
mAh rating increases the amount of run time experienced.
The condition of a battery pack is also an important factor in both run
time and speed. The battery connectors may become hot during driving.
Batteries will lose performance and capacity over time.
Driving the vehicle from a stop to full speed repeatedly will damage the
batteries and electronics over time. Sudden acceleration will also lead to
shorter run times.
TO IMPROVE RUN TIMES
Keep your vehicle clean and well maintained.
»
Allow more airflow to the ESC and motor.
»
Change the gearing to a lower ratio. A lower ratio decreases the
»
operating temperature of the electronics. Use a smaller pinion gear or
larger spur gear to lower the gear ratio.
Use a battery pack with a higher mAh rating.
»
Use the optimum charger to charge battery packs (Visit your local
»
hobby dealer for more information).

POWERING ON THE VEHICLE

1. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the transmitter.
2. Power on the transmitter.
3. Remove the body from the vehicle.
4. Connect a fully charged battery pack to the ESC.
5. Power on the ESC.
IMPORTANT: The vehicle MUST remain on a flat, level surface and
motionless for at least 5 seconds.
6. Re-install the body on the vehicle.

BEFORE RUNNING YOUR VEHICLE

1. Check for free suspension movement. All suspension arms and
steering components should move freely. Any binds will cause the
vehicle to handle poorly.
2. Charge a battery pack. Always charge the battery pack as per the
battery and/or charger manufacturers' instructions.
3. Set the transmitter steering trim. Follow the instructions to set the
steering trim/subtrim so that the vehicle drives straight with no input
to the steering.
4. Perform a Control Direction Test.
CHANGING THE TRAVEL ADJUST SETTINGS
1. Hold the trigger in the full brake position and turn the steering wheel
to Full Right while powering on the transmitter. The LED flashes rapidly,
indicating the programming mode is active.
2. Throttle End Point: Continue holding full throttle. Turn the TH TRIM
knob to adjust the full throttle end point.
3. Brake End Point: Hold the trigger in the full brake position. Turn the TH
TRIM knob to adjust the full brake end point. Return the trigger to the
center position.
4. Left Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full left position.
Turn the ST TRIM knob to adjust the left end point.
5. Right Steering End Point: Hold the steering wheel in the full right posi-
tion. Turn the ST TRIM knob to adjust the right end point. Return the
steering wheel to the center position.
6. Power off the transmitter to save the travel adjust settings.
The minimum Travel is 75%, and the Maximum travel is 150%.
IMPORTANT: If the travel is changed on the DX2E, you must rebind and
calibrate the receiver.
